Definitions
- This invention relates to a method and system for imaging an object at a vision station to develop dimensional information associated with the object and, in particular, to a method and system for the high-speed, high resolution imaging of an object at a vision station to develop dimensional information associated with the object by projecting a beam of controlled light at the object.
- a high-speed, high resolution (i.e. approximately .025mm (.001 inch) and finer) 3-D laser scanning system for inspecting miniature objects such as circuit board components, solder, leads and pins, wires, machine tool inserts, etc., can greatly improve the capabilities of machine vision systems. In fact, most problems in vision are 3-D in nature and two-dimensional problems are rarely found.
- a laser beam is scanned across the object to be inspected with a deflector and the diffusely scattered light is collected and imaged onto a position sensitive detector.
- the scanner can be a rotating polygon, galvanometer, resonant scanner, holographic deflector, or acousto-optic deflector.
- the position sensitive detector can be a linear or area array sensor, a lateral effect photodiode, a bi-cell, or an electro-optic position sensing device.
- a pair of position detectors are used to reduce shadowing. With linear arrays or area cameras there is severe trade off between shadows, light sensitivity and field of view.
- the position sensing system described in the above-noted patent application is preferred.
- lateral effect photodiodes can be used at data rates up to about 1 MHz and are inexpensive, commercially available devices.
- Conventional triangulation based scanners or structured light systems often utilize conventional imaging lenses (i.e., reduction lenses, 35 mm lenses, or cylinder lenses designed for long line detectors) to deliver light to large area position sensitive detectors such as area sensor, linear arrays or large area position sensitive detectors.
- imaging lenses i.e., reduction lenses, 35 mm lenses, or cylinder lenses designed for long line detectors
- large area position sensitive detectors such as area sensor, linear arrays or large area position sensitive detectors.
- the large area detectors have several limitations: low speed due to large detector capacitance, high dark currents, and a much higher noise floor than what is found with small area devices.
- a 20 mm x 20 mm P-I-N lateral photodiode (equivalent to the approximate area of a typical 25mm (1 inch) video camera tube) has a capacitance of several hundred picofarads and a dark current of several microamps.
- a 2 mm x 2 mm device will have capacitance of about 5 pf and a dark current of about 50 nanoamps.
- Both the speed and noise performance of the smaller detectors can be orders of magnitude better than the performance achievable with large area devices.
- the improvement in speed is directly proportional to the reduction in capacitance and the improvement in signal-to-noise is at least as large as the square root of the reduction in capacitance.
- a "synchronized scanning” approach can be used to overcome this problem as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,553,844 to Nakagawa et al.
- This scanning approach is commonly implemented with polygonal or galvanometer driven mirrors.
- this approach requires that the sensor head contain moving parts in the form of a rotating mirror (for example, in the Fourier plane or telecentric stop position) or a pair of mirrors.
- a second mirror is used to follow the spot which is scanning by means of the first mirror.
- These high speed moving parts are often not desirable, particularly if the sensor is to be subjected to the type of acceleration found with x-y tables and robotic arms in industrial environments.
- a swept aperture profiler is described. It too measures a time displacement for determining position.
- a galvanometer driven mirror is used to scan a line of data (i.e. x,y coordinates).
- An acousto-optic deflector is used to scan the position sensing dimension and the instant at which the light is received by the photodetection device indicates depth.
- the use of the A-O deflector for the z dimension scanning represents an improvement over the previous technology.
- the use of a photomultiplier as a detection device allows for a much improved dynamic range.
- the U.S. patent to Balusubramanian, 4,355,904 describes a triangulation-based method which incorporates a position sensing device in the form of a variable density filter together with a system for sweeping the laser beam and controlling the position of the measurement probe.
- the tolerance on the density of typical variable filters, whether fabricated with a metallic coating on glass or with photographic film plate, is typically ⁇ 5% at any single point.
- the U.S. patent to Satoshi Ido, et al., 4,589,773 describes a position sensing method and system for inspection of wafers which utilizes a commercially available position detector.
- a reduction lens is used to focus the light into a small spot on the surface of the object with a 10X reduction.
- a magnification lens is used in the receiver (10X) to deliver light to a detector.
- the triangulation angle is 45 degrees with the receiver and detector at complementary angles (90 degrees). This is fine for wafer inspection.
- the method is deficient for several other types of inspection tasks because (1) unacceptable shadows and occlusion effects would occur for tall objects; (2) the field of view of the probe is very small; (3) a reduction of the angle to 15 degrees (to reduce shadows) would degrade the height sensitivity significantly; and (4) the detector area is relatively large which limits speed and the signal to noise ratio as the speed of the system is increased.
- the U.S. patent to Haugen, 4,593,967, assigned to Honeywell describes a triangulation-based scanning system utilizing a holographic deflection device to reduce the size and weight of the scanning system and a digital mask for detection of position.
- the digital mask is in the form of binary grey code and requires a detector for each bit (i.e. 8 detectors for an 8 bit code).
- a single cylinder lens is used in the receiver to convert a spot of light into a thin line which must be sharply focused onto a series of photodetectors. In other words, the spot is converted into a line to deliver the light to the series of long thin detectors. Spatial averaging is not performed in the system nor is the centroid of the light spot determined.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,634,879 discloses the use of optical triangulation for determining the profile of a surface utilizing a prism and two photomultiplier tubes in a flying spot camera system. These are arranged in a "bi-cell" configuration. The bi-cell, however, does not compute the centroid of the received light spot and is therefore sensitive to the distribution of intensity within the received light spot. As an anti-noise feature, amplitude modulation is impressed upon the laser beam and a filter network is used to filter photomultiplier response so as to exclude response to background optical noise.
- US Patent No. 4,796,997 and the EP-A-0 247 833 discloses a method for the high-speed, high-resolution, 3-D imaging of an object at a vision station to develop dimensional information associated with the object, the method including the steps of: scanning a beam of controlled light in a scanning direction at the surface of the object at a first predetermined angle to generate a corresponding reflected light signal; receiving said reflected light signal at a second angle with a set of optical components for creating a focused spot of light from the reflected light signal, the set of optical components including first and second lenses; measuring the amount of radiant energy in the reflected light signal with a small area position detector having a detector area and having a position-sensing direction substantially orthogonal to the scanning direction and producing at least one electrical signal proportional to the measurement; and computing a centroid value for the reflected light signal from at least one electrical signal.
- a method for the high-speed, high-resolution, 3-D imaging of an object at a vision station to develop dimensional information associated with the object including the steps of: scanning a beam of controlled light along a scan line in a scanning direction at the surface of the object at a first predetermined angle to generate a corresponding reflected light signal; receiving said reflected light signal at a second angle with a set of optical components for creating a focused spot of light from the reflected light signal, the set of optical components including first and second lenses and measuring the amount of radiant energy in the reflected light signal with a small area position detector having a detector area and having a position-sensing direction substantially orthogonal to the scanning direction and producing at least one electrical signal proportional to the measurement; and computing a centroid value for the reflected light signal from the at least one electrical signal, the method being characterised by: converting the focused spot of light into an enlarged, elongated spot of light and imaging the received light signal to the small area position detector with an ana
- an imaging system for the high-speed, high-resolution 3-D imaging of an object at a vision station to develop dimensional information associated with the object
- the system including: a source for scanning a beam of controlled light along a scan line in a scanning direction at the surface of the object at a first predetermined angle to generate a corresponding reflected light signal; a first set of optical components for creating a focused spot of light from the reflected light signal, the set of optical components including first and second lenses and for receiving the reflected light signal at a second angle; measuring means, including a small area position detector having a detector area and having a position-sensing direction substantially orthogonal to the scanning direction for measuring the amount of radiant energy in the reflected light signal and producing at least one electrical signal proportional to the measurement; and signal processing means for computing a centroid value for the reflected light signal from the at least one electrical signal, the system being characterised by: an anamorphic optical system into which, in use, the scan line is imaged, and for converting
- the second anamorphic lens is specially made to have a speed of f/.5 to f/.7 and a focal length in the range of 20 to 30 mm.
- the source preferably includes a solid state (i.e. acousto-optic) laser light deflector and the set of optical components preferably includes a mask to control the polarization and acceptance angles of the collected light.
- a solid state laser light deflector i.e. acousto-optic
- the set of optical components preferably includes a mask to control the polarization and acceptance angles of the collected light.
- the measuring means includes a highly sensitive photodetector such as a lateral effect photodiode for converting the radiant energy into at least one electrical current.
- a highly sensitive photodetector such as a lateral effect photodiode for converting the radiant energy into at least one electrical current.
- the field of view of the filtered light signal is translated across the position detector by translation means to expand the range of dimensional information associated with the object.
- Such a method and system provide high resolution, quasi-video rate, full 3-D imaging at a relatively low cost.
- a long scan line i.e. field of view
- the present invention overcomes many of the problems of the prior art by utilizing an anamorphic magnification and field lens system to deliver light to a small area position sensor in conjunction with the benefits of utilizing an all solid state light deflection system (i.e. compact, rugged, easy to interface with, etc.)
- FIGURE 1 there are illustrated the major components of a 3-D imaging system constructed in accordance with the present invention and generally indicated at 10.
- the system 10 is positioned at a vision station and includes a controlled source of light such as a laser, modulator and optical feedback circuit 12.
- a scanner in the form of an acousto-optic deflector 14 and beam shaping and focusing optics in the form of various lens elements 16 produce a telecentric, flat field scan by projecting a series of laser beams at the reflective surface 18 of an object, generally indicated at 20.
- the object is supported on a reference, planar surface 22 at the vision station.
- a laser is coupled to a modulator to shift the information to a higher frequency where system noise characteristics are better.
- the modulator may perform one of many types of modulation, including sine wave, pulse amplitude, pulse position, etc.
- the laser is a solid state laser diode and is "shuttered” with a TTL signal (i.e. TTL modulation).
- TTL modulation i.e. TTL modulation
- the laser signal is encoded so as to allow separate signal processing functions to be performed during "on” and “off” intervals as described in detail in the above-noted application.
- power levels are 20-30 mW (Class III-B) which are well suited for machine vision applications.
- a solid state acousto-optic (i.e. A-O) deflector 14 such as one commercially available from Newport Electro-Optics, is preferably used.
- the deflector is easy to interface with, is very rugged and compact. This presents numerous advantages.
- the size of the system 10 can be about the size of a video camera. No moving parts are present in the system 10. Long term stability is easy to maintain.
- the system 10 can be made rugged enough to mount on a translator like an x-y table or robotic arm with relatively little effort. Therefore, producing the unit in large quantities is relatively easy.
- Most A-O deflectors produce about 500 spots/scan line which provides a very convenient interface to digitizers and image processing equipment.
- the duty cycle is also very high compared to other types of scanners (95% vs. 50%).
- the A-O deflector 14 has the advantage of being all solid state as previously discussed. However, due to the nature of diffractive scanning, a smooth illumination gradient of about 10-30% of the average value in the field of view results. Although this type of gradient can sometimes be tolerated, it is undesirable because it offsets a potentially large advantage of laser scanning in general: the ability to deliver the same quantity of light at the same angle of incidence to every point in the field of view.
- An optical and electronic feedback loop generally indicated at 24, is utilized to correct this slowly varying gradient (i.e. for flat field correction).
- the A-O deflector 14 produces both a scanning beam and a "DC" beam which is normally blocked with a spatial filter. This DC beam will contain about 30% of the laser power. By sensing the variations in this beam it is possible to infer the variations in the illumination because the total light is the sum of the scanning (i.e. 1st order) light and the DC beam (0th order).
- the DC beam is sensed by a photodetector 26 of the loop 24.
- the resulting electrical signal is used by an automatic gain control circuit 28 (i.e. including an amplifier and an integrator) of the loop 24 to attenuate or amplify the RF power applied to the A-O deflector 14 at a balanced mixer.
- the resulting intensity distribution is flat to about 1% which provides a significant advantage for greyscale inspection and a modest dynamic range improvement for 3-D inspection.
- the optical system 38 includes a set of optical components, including a telecentric receiver lens 40 to collect scattered light from the object 20 at a position approximately one focal length from the object 20.
- a reduction focusing lens 42 operates as a telescope objective.
- the lenses 40 and 42 operates as a preferred conjugate.
- the reduction lens 42 can be interchanged to accommodate various reduction and magnification ratios.
- the reduction lens 42 is placed directly behind a mask 44.
- the mask 44 is located at one focal length from the receiver lens 40 and functions as a telecentric stop to provide a spatial and polarization filtering plane.
- the mask forms a rectangular aperture (i.e. spatial filter) positioned at the intermediate spatial filtering plane to reject light received from unwanted angles (i.e. off-axis or stray light) which often arises from secondary reflections from objects outside of the desired instantaneous field of view of the system 10.
- the mask 44 may be a fixed aperture 46 or electromechanical shutter, or, preferably, is a liquid crystal, binary, spatial light modulator or valve which is dynamically reconfigured under software control.
- Such a configuration is useful for inspection of very shiny objects (reflowed solder, wire bond, loops, pin grids, etc.) which are in close proximity from which multiple reflections will be created. Consequently, both the acceptance angle (through stop size) and polarization of the input light can be digitally controlled prior to delivery to a detector.
- the spatial filter or strip can be programmed in a chosen pattern of opaque and transmissive patterns correlated and matched to the height profile of the object to be detected. For example, a height measurement of shiny pins placed on a shiny background will be more reliable if only a narrow strip corresponding to the height range over which properly positioned pins is viewed. Otherwise, multiple reflections may produce a signal return which is significantly larger than the return produced by useful light. If properly placed, the position of the pin will be reported. If defective, no pin will be found.
- the aperture 46 of the mask 44 is no larger than necessary for detection of a specified height range, but is still preferably programmable.
- the optical system 38 further includes an anamorphic magnification and field lens system, generally indicated at 48.
- the lens systems 48 includes a pair of anamorphic elements or lenses 50 and 52.
- the lens 50 is a very long focal length, precision negative cylinder lens to magnify the image in the position-sensing direction.
- the focal length of the lens 50 is typically between about -300 mm and -1000 mm.
- the lens 52 is a custom short focal length cylinder lens having a preferred speed of about f/.5 or f/.7 which is used to expand the field of view and light gathering capability of the system 38.
- the lens 52 has a preferred focal length of about 25 mm and may have a focal length in the range of 20 to 30 mm.
- FIGURE 2a illustrates the profile of a "step object" wherein several positions on the stop object are labelled.
- FIGURE 2b illustrates the labelled positions of Figure 2a as seen in a large area detector as a laser spot is scanned along the object. This represents the prior art.
- FIGURE 2c shows the same labelled positions of Figure 2a, and also shows the effect of using the pair of lenses 50 and 52.
- the lenses 50 and 52 convert a small focused spot of light into a smooth, enlarged rectangular or elliptical spot which uniformly illuminates an extended region of a single position sensitive detector 53 and averages spatial noise resulting from variations in sensitivity from point to point.
- the combination of the lenses 42 and 50 serve to provide magnification in the position sensing dimension.
- the magnification in the position sensing direction is usually greater than 1:1, thereby yielding microscopic magnification.
- the lens 52 serves as an anamorphic field lens into which the scan line is imaged.
- the length of the imaged scan line can be almost as large as the lens 52 (i.e. 40 mm) but is clearly much larger than the dimension of the detector 53. Hence, it serves as the reduction optic.
- the lens 52 can be fabricated in the form of a double convex singlet, a plano convex "hemi-cylinder" or with a gradient index optic having a radial gradient or a combination thereof. A double convex design, however, is preferable.
- a tracking mirror 54 is included and can be placed at any of several convenient positions provided it is behind the mask 44 to maintain telecentricity.
- a small angle deflector can be used but will deviate rather than translate the light beam.
- the translating mirror 54 is mounted on a precision miniature stage which is displaced under software control via a control or controller 56 which, in turn, is coupled to a signal processing circuit 58.
- the mirror 54 is useful because it can significantly extend the measurement range of the system 10.
- the position sensor or detector at any instant can discriminate about 256 levels or height.
- Several inspection tasks may demand an extension of this height range.
- the leads may extend upward about 6.4 mm (.25 inch) or more to the body of the component. This exceeds the linear measurement range of lateral photodiodes.
- wire loops are very thin and require high spatial and depth resolution for an accurate measurement. However, these wires may also extend up to 6.4 mm (.25 inch) and a sensor which is to accommodate this entire range at the required 0.005 mm (.0002 inch) height and spatial resolution is not practical.
- the translating mirror 54 alleviates this problem.
- the only requirement is that the lens 40 receive the light.
- the lens 40 can be expected to provide an image size (in the position sensing dimension) which is somewhat larger than the detector 53.
- Displacing the mirror 54 has the effect of translating the total field of view (constrained by the lens 40) across the detector 53 so that many more levels of height can be sensed while still utilizing the small area detector 53.
- a single detector element is utilized as a small area position sensitive detector 53 of the system 10.
- the system 10 can obtain quite accurate z (i.e. height) measurements with a lateral effect photodiode (LEP), the internal resistance of which provides the depth sensing and centroid computation capability through attenuation of signal currents.
- the position detector 53 can be a lateral effect photodiode like the Si-Tek 2L2 or 2L4 but is preferably a special rectangular lateral effect detector having an approximate 6 mm width and a 2 mm dimension along the position sensing direction.
- These position sensitive devices have substantial speed and depth range advantages over linear arrays. Bi-cells or digital masks (i.e. optical encoder) are not preferred.
- the detector 53 is coupled to a pre-amplifier 58 which, in turn, is coupled to the signal processing circuit 58 which computes the centroid of the light spot thereby allowing for non-uniform and directional intensity distributions.
- the signal processing circuit or unit 58 expands/compresses the variable data in order to obtain the proper Z value, grey scale information and special values indicating incorrect height information.
- the signal processing circuit 58 is described in greater detail in the above-noted application.
- system 10 is designed to support a scanning mechanism with no moving parts, it can also be used in the synchronized scanning geometry approach to provide additional benefits, namely increasing resolution using a very small point detector and spatial averaging over the detector.
- imaging can be performed at high resolution and at quasi-video rates to obtain full 3-D information.
- a large scan line i.e. field of view
- such a method and system offer the potential of accurate, quasi-video frame rate depth sensing at low cost.
